SIZING GUIDE

Determine Band Size

Wear a good-fitting, non-padded bra and face the mirror.

Wrap the measuring tape very snugly around your rib cage, just under your bustline. Make sure the tape is even and parallel with the floor.

Exhale and pull the measuring tape as tightly as possible. This is your Rib Cage measurement.

If the measurement is odd, add 5". If the measurement is even, add 4". If the measurement is 40" or above, add only 3-4 inches. This is your Band Size.

Use this chart as a guideline.

Select the Band Size according to your Rib Cage measurement as follows:

Rib Cage

27-28"

29-30"

31-32"

33-34"

35-36"

37-38"

To confirm the Band Size, wrap the measuring tape loosely around your rib cage, just above your bustline and under your arms. This measurement should equal the Band Size.

Determine Cup Size

Wear a good-fitting, non-padded bra.

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape is parallel to the floor and lying flat around your body.

This will be a loose measurement. You should be able to easily insert 2 fingers sideways between the side of your breast and the tape. This is your Bust Measurement.

The difference in inches between the Band Size and the Bust Measurement will determine the cup size:

Best Place for my needs and styles!

By Vene Gregg from Round Rock, Texas from on 9/6/2014

It is difficult for me to find this particular bra in my size and style. It has been a pleasant experience to discover WhatSheBuys always has the size and the style I want! Pros: - The fit, support, and the style. Cons: - Nothing.

disappointed

By Nanci from California from on 1/31/2012

I always wear Wacoal minimizer bras because they don't stretch vertically and provide minimal bounce for my heavy breasts. What I surprise to discover that their version of a sports bra has more vertical stretch than my everyday bra thus allowing more bounce! I'm also not able to adjust the straps as tightly as I would like, and they rub uncomfortably on my back and the excess material sticks out. I'm usually such a Wacoal fan that I just ordered their bra online assuming it would be a well designed sports bra, but I've been disappointed.

Most comfortable sports bra I've ever worn

By Teresa from Central Ohio from on 4/17/2011

I guess you do get what you pay for, because I've been working out regularly for over a decade and I've purchased all kinds of sports bras. A saleslady at Macy's recommended this bra to me, and I really hesitated over the price. But after trying it on, I decided to give it a try. I love it! I'm a D, and bounce is not a problem for me in this bra. I just hope they don't discontinue it anytime soon.

Very comfortable. Looks like I am putting it on backward but I guess I am not. Follow the labels.

My favorite sports bra--expensive but worth it. For a C cup, it works for my high impact sport of horse back riding. I wear it standard style

I'm a huge wacoal fan, but I didn't love this one. I'm a 32 DDD and I found that it gave my ribs great support, but didn't eliminate the bounce factor as much as I would have liked it to. If it weren't so tight around the rib cage, it would be a great every day bra, but for me, it dug a little too much for a daily wear bra. Though it's probably a wonderful bra for a D cup or smaller. The sport bra Wacoal made about 5 years ago was perfect and I wish they still made it.

Nice, sturdy, comfortable. I am a DD and there is still bounce with this but that may be inevitable. Definitely pricey but doesn't seem more so than equivalents.
